It's so unusual to ever describe an SNL musical performance as "beautiful," "ethereal," "thought-provoking," or "mind-blowing," but all of those words authentically reflect Kanye's set on Saturday night. It was more visually interesting than any TV performance I've seen in a long, long time. I personally like the "Runaway" performance more, but I felt like both were jaw-dropping. Leave it to Kanye to take a TV promo gig and turn it into a work of art.
